Soap is produced by a soaper in an Alchemist's laboratory.
Soapmaking is a high-technology tertiary industry. Creating soap requires lye and tallow, both of which are manufactured items. Building the Alchemist's laboratory requires the components of a functioning glass industry to create the 3 clear glass vials, which in turn requires sand (on a map which actually contains it), a bag (made from cloth or leather) and pearlash (made from burned wood).
As lye is one of the necessary ingredients, creating soap will require burning large quantities of wood, so a soap industry is best established in a heavily wooded area or a mountainous region with an underground pool or river for growing tower-caps.
Alchemist's laboratory
Soap is made in an Alchemist's laboratory.
- Create 3 x glass vials - requires a glass industry
Clear glass
- cloth or leather bag
- construct a glass furnace or magma glass furnace
- collect sand
- obtain pearlash (trade or see below)
- sand + pearlash at glass furnace produces clear glass - profession: glassmaker
- tallow + lye = soap - profession: alchemist
Bags
Large amounts of animal fat are required to make soap. Slaughtered animals are the only input requied for producing bags from leather. Inputs: butcherable animals
- breed livestock or hunt butcherable wild animals- profession: hunter
- slaughter the animal at a butcher's shop to obtain skin - profession: butcher
- Note:these two steps are shared below in producing tallow)
- tan the skin at a tannery - profession: tanner
- use 2 pieces of leather to produce 1 bag at a leather works - profession: leatherworker
Sand
Use the bags from above.
- construct a glass furnace or magma glass furnace
- issue the collect sand task from the furnace
Pearlash
Pearlash is required in creating the glass vials used to build an Alchemist's laboratory. Inputs: Ash or lye from above.
- Produce potash from ashes or lye at the ashery - profession: potash maker
- use potash to make pearlash at a kiln or magma kiln - profession: furnace operator
Lye
- cut down trees to obtain wood - profession: wood cutter
- burn wood at a wood furnace to make ash - profession: furnace operator
- use ash to make lye at an ashery - profession: lye maker
Tallow
Inputs: butcherable creatures
